John was predeceased by his loving mother Kathleen, his adored sister Marybeth and his father and best buddy Richie “Cliff”. John is survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him dearly. John followed any and all sports, especially Army Football, the Yankees and the New York Giants. He loved a good joke and a spirited debate. He was a proud American who always supported Veteran causes.
John will be remembered for his sense of humor, his warmth towards all, his heart of gold and his loyalty to his many friends.
The family would like to especially thank Justin, Doc, Bobby, J.C. and Frankie for their unwavering care of John throughout the years.
